Kaptur expressed support for a bridge loan for U.S. automakers, who are reeling from a sharp drop in sales in recent months. “Just as important as that bridge loan are new trade and tax policies, so that American companies and American workers can compete on a level playing field,” she said.

Kaptur noted that unemployment in Ohio in October climbed to 6.8 percent, with more than 400,000 Ohioans out of work, including more than 25,000 workers in the Ninth Congressional District.
